A matter has come to light recently,
which ought, and doubtless will be ferret
ed out, to the disgrace of the party or
parties engaged in it. Some time since
anonymous letters began to be received
by the families of E. H. Nye and his
neighbor Mr.. Dorman. They were full
of annoying, mean and low things, calcu-
lated as a sort of blackmail, and caused
the families much trouble. On a recent
night the same parties broke into a room
used by f.. NJ. Dorman as a studio, de-
stroyed two portraits he was painting,
stole a lot of letters and papers and left a
saucy notice posted in the room. The
whole affair doubtless grows out of the
fact that the daughter of Mr.. Nye refused
to associate with one considered unworthy,
and whose conduct in this affair proves
him to be a sneak and a villain. The
whole community is indignant.
